I'd want High Elves. Yeah, we already have Blood Elves, but the lore between the two races is very different. With 5.1, there's even evidence that some of the Belfs could rejoin the Alliance through the new faction storylines. Also, pandaren look identical for both factions, so why not make another same-model race? (Plus, it would save Blizzard time on the model-making.)

I want to play A %^&*ING TUSKARR!

If lore wasn't an issue, I'd love for the Klaxxi to be a playable Horde race.

Not sure how the lore would go, but i would kill to play a Naga.

Yeah... after the "domestication" of worgen, I believe even a kobold or gnoll could be playable...

Out of the suggests variants though, tuskarr and Klaxxi are quite interesting, given their... ehm, effects on the world. Most renown fishermen and actually sentient insects.

But then again, all races must be lore and story-wise squeezed into alliance-horde conflict. Even if Blizzard keeps the easy idea of personal choice, and Klaxxi could have capital in rebuilt Heart of Fear, while Tuskarr fortify any of their Northrend settlements - these races are indifferent. Klaxxi? Old God followers. What do they give about our childish war? For all we know, they would be happy to just wipe us all out(if we don't stand with their gods, and we obviously don't).Tuskarr? Why would a fisherman roll warrior(class issues are even worse).

Knowing Ogri'la, it could be assumed that Ogres would fit the ingenious sort of the Horde. Easy lore, possible classes. Warrior, Shaman...ehm, something else. But it needs a counterpart.

AH, here it is. Vrykul! Maybe alliance can "romanize" them?

Since we have space goats, I don't know why the hell people try to use lore as a reason to not have certain races become playable.

Heck they make it clear as day after you hit exalted that if the Old Gods ever break free the Klaxxi will be right there serving the Old Masters again.

Now, if some group broke apart completely, or the chosen Empress successor decides she doesn't want to go down that path well there is the playable Mantids. Nagas could possibly playable at some point as well, but not until Azshara goes down; as the Naga stand now, they are all in love with their Queen and will lay down their lives for her no matter what. We've only ever seen one Naga who went against her, and the Heretic was ape &*!@ insane.

How about a big fluffy dog like a Samoyed and its racial would be . Expands fur to increase resilience and PvP resilience by % for 25 sec.

I think we have enough Furry bait in the game.

Mantids plz. Or some sort of bug race, at least.

Agreed. They'd be the first race in a while that I'd be real excited to play. Elves are ok nothing to get excited over though. World of Warcraft goblins are a huge letdown, blizz just screwed the lore pertaining to them, as far as I'm concerned. Pandaren are alright, just not my cup of tea. The Mantid though...the more I do the Klaxxi dailies, the more I like that race. I would really dig playing a Mantid Rogue or a Monk

Awkward mounting and no shoe slots? No thank you.

On the other hand, I'd really love to play a wolvar, idc which faction they join.

Add in an easy to get mount via quest line for what ever faction gets the Naga and give the Naga something like Darkflight or just animate their mount graphics to look as though they're riding side saddle, wouldn't look any more awkward than the animation we have when using dragon turtles. Tauren, Worgen, Pandaren, Troll and Draenei are all shoeless. You were saying?

As Alliance I would like to cruch some little bugs.How about new faction? It would be some kind of neutral. The races could be Murloc, Gnoll, Ogre and maybe Turskar. Always wanted to play on Murloc. "I am more then a fish! I am more then a man! Death will rise from the tides! Mrglglrgh! I am Murloc!"

a naga mount should be standing on a roman chariot with maybe seahorses pulling it? now that would be too badass. but seeing as they dont really sit down, spread their tail on a seat uhmm yeah.

Racials are supposed to be at least somewhat unique

One mount =/= all mounts.

Tauren, Worgen, Pandaren, Troll and Draenei are all shoeless. You were saying?

Tauren, Worgen, Panderan, Trolls and Draenei all have bloody feet, now don't they? When they wear shoes, an ankle bracelet changes. Having a tail and no feet is significantly different than having legs with nonstandard feet.

Post by Adamsm

Yeah but they could give Naga's tail caps for the shoe graphic, and kilt models to cover the lower part of the serpent body.

As for mounting, just have them sit side saddle on the mounts that require it and them sitting on their tails on all of the larger ones, such as the Dragon turtles.
